[Mplayer-dvb] aspect ratio changes for dvb

[André Weidemann]

Hello Harf,
the issue you describe does not sound like an Mplayer problem but more 
like a driver or firmware problem.
Have you tried upgrading to the latest DVB-Driver from:
http://www.linuxtv.org/news/holger/dvbrelease3.xml
You can also try to check out the latest CVS
http://linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/

Good luck,
  André.
